In addition, PIA sponsors Summer of Service (SOS), an immersion program in rural Hunan Province populated by Tu and Miao minorities. Interns run an innovative English language program at a university in Jishou City, teaching English, running extracurricular programming, and getting involved with the community. The school provides room and board, a basic living stipend, as well as classes in Chinese language and cultural activities. PIA internships are open to freshmen (yes, freshmen!), sophomores, and juniors.

Princeton Internships in Civic Service (PICS)
Princeton Internships in Civic Service is a summer internship initiative, founded and supported by alumni, that places students, mentored by Princeton alumni, in substantive internships in non-profit organizations. While most of the internships are domestic, there are typically several international opportunities available each summer. Students work in issue areas ranging from group advocacy, legal services, public policy, health and social services, community development, to education, sustainability and the environment, and the arts. Administered by the Pace Center for Civic Engagement, PICS was established by the Class of 1969 Community Service Fund and is funded as well by the community service funds from other alumni classes, regional associations, and individual alumni from a number of other classes. Each of the 60-80 internships available each summer is created exclusively for a Princeton student, and the goal is to provide an educationally enriching experience for the intern.
